Clergy Stress Test

The Church of England's Clergy Support Division has issued a simple stress test for all of the CofE clergy to ascertain just how many of us are suffering from work-related stress issues.

The test is simple, all that is required is for the clergy person to stare at the image below and see if they perceive any differences between the two otherwise identical dolphins pictured in it.

If you do you think you see any difference (the more difference the worse your condition) you should contact your senior clergy staff immediately to get support before the problem becomes serious. It is your responsibility to help senior staff help to keep you effective and in the best possible frame of mind to do the work before us as resources and ministry needs become more pressured.

Thankfully I still see two identical animals and so am assured of many more years of carefree ministry in the church!

Happy Saturday
